Indentity in Psychology

There are many ways to research and define identity in psychology. We could tell about personal identity (knowledge and feeling about own uniqueness and differences from other people) as well as about social identity (knowledge and feeling of own belongingness to certain social group or social category). Also identity explores like a role identity, social identity, situational identity, given identity etc.
Modern psychological science suggest multitude of identities, build them into different systems, hierarchies, structures. Psychologists argue about exact definition of identity, try to oppose social and personal identities to each other, and try to find the most appropriate model for representation of personality, like a system, schema, of elaborated identities.
Identity in its true sense could be defined in different categories, situations, relations through which we produce own Selves, personalities, uniqueness of personal life. For that reason, I prefer the term subjectivity rather, than term identity. The term subjectivity elaborated in the course of modern philosophy and psychology of personality. It means the true, unique, non-adaptive mental core of individual, which includes all the things through which a personality signifies itself. Semantically, today, identity is a something that personality has, but subjectivity is something that personality is. Subjectivity is always a product of two issues: 1) personal life experience, 2) ethnic, cultural, social, any other type of the discourse a person lives in.
For the subjectivity we don’t have to separate and define some partial identities – ethnic, religious, professional, gender, etc. All of them involved in the process of subjectivity building and equally presented at the space of personality. So, identities, in the space of subjectivity, represent certain possibilities of the person to define and express own self, by very different ways.
To sum up:
1) Identity is not only the result, but also is the process of subjectivity building, so we need to look on it in both, structural and dynamic perspectives.
2) Identity exists as a discourse, could be expressed through narrative personality tells about own self or through the outside interpretation of that narrative.
3) Identity of the person always exist as intention and being turned to the social and cultural spheres, to the Other (From the capital letter), who personalized itself all possible social identifications (ethnic, religious, national, etc).
